According to online rumors, Assassin's Creed Red is rumored to be the last game in the main series to use the Origins formula. Ubisoft has confirmed that the game is set in feudal Japan and will be an open-world experience, but hasn't provided many official details about what fans can expect. However, leaks and rumors suggest that Assassin's Creed Red may have a dual protagonist system and a potential release in 2024. Ubisoft is currently focused on promoting this year's Assassin's Creed Mirage, so it's uncertain when more information about Assassin's Creed Red will be revealed.
It is uncertain when fans will witness the action of Assassin's Creed Red, however, a recent rumor suggests that it could signify the conclusion of an era for the Assassin's Creed franchise. Resetera user John Harker, renowned for their insider knowledge, has stated that Assassin's Creed Red will be the final installment in the Assassin's Creed series to adhere to the Origins formula.
The Assassin's Creed games started off as stealth-focused action games. However, Ubisoft made a bold move with Assassin's Creed Origins, transforming it into a massive open world action-RPG. This new direction carried on into Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. While Harker's claims should be taken with caution, if accurate, it suggests that upcoming Assassin's Creed games will take a different approach. Of course, it is possible for Ubisoft to revisit the open world RPG style in the future. After all, Assassin's Creed Mirage brings the franchise back to its stealth roots, so there is potential for a future game to revert back to the gameplay formula of Assassin's Creed Origins.
There are several upcoming Assassin's Creed games, including Assassin's Creed Mirage and Assassin's Creed Hexe. Additionally, there is an Assassin's Creed VR game, a mobile game called Assassin's Creed Jade, and the highly anticipated Assassin's Creed Infinity experience. It remains to be seen how these new projects will compare, but the future of the franchise looks promising. Currently, Assassin's Creed Red is being developed.
